Here's a place to post information, pics etc. of the Belgian National Day of 2010.

Current plans according to the website of the Belgian royal family:

- 20 July: the entire royal family attend a concert at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, entitled "Preludium to the National Day", organized by the Belgian National Orchestra and the International Queen Elisabeth Contest.

- 21 July:
- morning:
King Albert, Queen Paola, Queen Fabiola, Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde attend the Te Deum at the St. Michael and St. Gudule Cathedral in Brussels
Prinses Astrid and Prince Lorenz attend the Te Deum at the St Quintinus cathedral in Hasselt
Prince Laurent and Princess Claire attend the Te Deum at the St Martinus church in Aarlen

- afternoon:
- the entire family attends the military défilé around 15:00

After the defilé, the entire royal family will visit stands of the "party at warande" in Brussels. Who will visit what is not jet known.

In the evening, princess Astrid and prince Lorenz will be present at the "quire of the European Union' at koningsplein and afterwords the fireworks at Paleizenplein.

Also no Willem tell apple or anything of this kind this year. The royal security demanded her not to make jokes with her aggressor. A sad situation, especially since Fabiola is said to be fed up with the extra security. However, better be too careful than heading for a drama caused by a sick maniac.

Wonderful, thanks so much iceflower. Why these death threats against Queen Fabiola? She has never been controversial in her life and yet there is/are sick individuals that have to gain attention in a perverted fashion instead of doing something useful with his/hers/their lives. In addition, to threaten an elderly lady is cowardly.
